When leadership demonstrates generosity, others learn the value of the gift. However, we must consider the nature of our generosity.

Intention: What is the motive behind our gift?

Object: What is the object of our generosity? Work? Family? Church? Lord?

Planned dedication: Is there a purpose planned in the gift?

Action: Are we ready to start giving…now?

Self-examination: What do we lose by holding on to the gift?

These questions help us determine the nature of and need behind our generosity.
